As some of you know, I am a kindergarten teacher and my job is a saving grace...if I don't get out of the house and am occupied, I am miserable...Summer vacationVacation health care is on the way...most people think I am so lucky...NOT! Last summer I was home with my daughter who is now 2. I have a beautiful pool in my backyard...but I am panicking already that I am going to be filled with anxietyGeneralized anxiety disorder Separation anxiety Stress and anxiety and depressed when I am home..i want to be able to enjoy the summer with my daughter...she is wonderful and deserves it, but I get so agoraphobic that I don't want to go out and I get very depressed because I feel this way...any suggestions to help me, so I can give my daughter the best that she deserves???
having a two year old is very tiring - when my kids were younger I arranged to meet other moms regularly - that got me out and kept my mind on other things - and my kids loved it because they played and played. can you join a play group in your area?
thanks for all the posting that you do - I like to read your posts because they are always positive

Thank you for your advice and kind words. I will have to look into a play group. I live in NJ but all my friends are in NY (where I am originally from). I can meet up with them sometimes, but not often...I will look to see what is going on in my area! Thanks again!
A play group is probably a good idea. If you can't find one, you can always go to the park or the play areas at the mall. There's always kids playing there and your daughter can join right in. But I have a hard time staying home too. I have been on maternity leave for the past year. Staying home is tough becauase it just gives me too much time to think. I will be returning to work in Sept. I have mixedMixed respiratory vaccine emotions about it. I want to got backBack pain - low Back strain treatment but I worry about putting my 1 year old son in day care.
Hello Suzi. I was just wondering have you ever thought of going backBack pain - low Back strain treatment to your home town, or is that not an option. You could get alot of support. Also maybe check to see if anyone from this forum lives where you live, that could be a support buddy when you need to get out of the house they could meet you, or come over. Whatever you are comfortable with. (just a thought). Hope that does not sound creepy. But were all in this together.

I thought that was a good idea what the last post said maybe you can find someone on here who lives near you cause we are all here together. What state do you live in? I live in mass.

Good luck and try to enjoy!
I was nervous about daycare in the beginning also, but now I love it! my daughter is an only child and she gets lots of social interaction there. they do lots of fun things too, like arts and crafts...It truly has been a blessing!! I am keeping her in daycare 2 days a week becuase I don't want her to get out of the swing of it...I am sure it will work out fine..just make sure you really like the one you choose and have good "feelings" about it!!
Angel
lots of visits to the zoo with Harry and Griff and Sammy
and we'll visit the pool with you!
Have a good weekend
When I throw myself into my kids I begin to forget my worries about my heart (my major obsession) and I tell myself, "the anxiety I experience when doing things with them is better than being anxoius at home while my kids just want to go out and play." My best advice is to plan things that won't make you too uncomfortable, and to look at it as exposure therapy. Sorry so long, hope this helps!!!
